T Q Y 0 whom zt may concern.'

Be 1t known that I` Groer, F. STANLEY, a

ton, in the county ot Montgomery and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Greeting which the following is aspecification, refer` ence being had therein to the accompanyingdrawing. My invention relates to greeting cards. The object of in 1invention is to provide a novel form of hiistmas card or other greetingcard. with a metal label thereon which permits of highly decoratedeffects, not possible through the ordinary printing It is my object toprovide a card in which the label will be so mounted that it will beprotected from abrasion and abuse and will retain itsf'iecortiveappearance. It is also my objecteto provide a card which may be easilycked .and will not increase the bulk of a s ipment due to having mentsuitably preparedl to which is applied a paper element, the paperelement having a glued surfacevwhich is applied adjacent to l,

the card. Referring to the drawings:

Fig.'1, is a plan view of one form of card having a label mountedthereon;

Fig. 2, is a section on Fig. 4, is asection on the linefbJivof isdepressed as at'2. This deforms an area below the general surface/of thecard, as will be seen in the enlarged views 2 and'l, Within thisdepressed portion, so that it will be laced generally below the level ofthe card, is the combined metal and paper label. This label consistsof ametallic member 3 and a paper member 4 united by glue `5 'or other bodywhichl Cards, of

eferringto thedrawings, Il `is-the cardv pasting substance, and unitedas a unit. to the card l by an adhesive substance 6.

ln the torm shown iii Figures l and 2, the

'label is struck up as at 7 and the edge kis turned down as at S.

This serves to form a i-esilient's'pring-like vstructure of the label inthe card'depression, serving to retain it in its p osition below thegeneralsurface of the card.

In Figures pand 4 will be seen-fa modifi cation of this forni of labeland card. The edge 9;'is projected upwardly and outwardly. to form ashoulder which embraces the shoulder vformed by the depression of thecard. It also has the various configurations impressed upon thelabel sothat the label itself will have a number of corrugations to take care ofwhatever minorexpansion and contraction there may be between4 the metallabel and the card, which have different coefficients of expansion.

While I have shown and described' certain features as constituting myinvention, it will be understood that parts have ybeen shown forpurposes of illustration only, and that I do not desire to be limited tosuch details, as obvious modifications will-occur to a person skilled inthe art.

Letters Patent, is:

1. Invcombination, a label, a card body' vhavingan area partiallydepressed below thev linefo-a,` of-r the surface in which this label isplaced,

means ,on the edgeof said label to engage i with tliel shoulders of thedepressed larea of ltlie card, and means on the bottom of the r label.to ,engage with;

In testimony whereof I aflix my si nature. 1
